Not Me Monday

quick purge of what i DID NOT do this last week...

i DID NOT tear up in the baby food aisle when i bought pasta pick ups for sofie knowing that my baby is no longer a baby and is getting so big so fast!

i DID NOT facebook IM for an hour or more...i do not have that kind of time to just sit and chat with friends.

i DID NOT get all warm and fuzzy inside when i heard b say to jk when the lights went off, "it's ok. remember, jesus is always with you."


i DID NOT go to the dunkin donuts drive thru 2 days this week...and the second day eat 3 donuts! only a pig would do that...

i DID NOT get a blog button from my fav place, Blogalicious!!! and i DO NOT want you to grab it and put it on your blog if you love me...

Our Dunkin Donuts went out, so at least that temptation is out of the way. It was conveniently located right across from Starbucks, too.

This is an awesome post...I love how kids can bring clarity to all kinds of situations "it's ok, remember Jesus is always with you" that is a statement we all need to remember.

Thanks for the sweet comments and the encouragement! I hope you have an amazing Monday :)

I'm so glad you DID NOT tear up in the baby food aisle... that would have been embarrassing!! j/k :) I NEVER cry at random things when they make me realize how precious my boys are! What kind of mom would do that? (one that loves her babies, maybe!) I love this idea for a post. Very cute!

Only two days to Dunkin Donuts? I go everyday. Somebody stop me. I just love their iced coffee so much! Almost a sin.

Awesome button! And pasta pickups...they are great - but yes, it is kind of sad when the girls get old enough to 'do it themselves.'

Glad you had a nice weekend!

OMG I am CRACKIN' UP! I love it! And I DIDN'T eat 2 donuts yesterday because it was my BIRTHDAY...that defeats the purpose of working out, right? LOL

Happy Not Me Monday!

I'll top your 3 donuts with my 3 cookie bars the size of my head.
I love the button. I want a button!
Lindsay said…
ohhhhhh - thanks for the button!! So cute. It's already up and operating!

I LOVE hearing kids stay "warm & fuzzy" stuff like that, too. My daughter just said "God's not done with me yet." Last night. Talk about a tear-jerker...

Got to love Not me Mondays. I did NOT get all teary when I read what your little one said about Jesus. I do NOT think that you are doing a great job with them.

I did not tear up and my voice did not go up 5 octives when my 13 month old told me said "sshh" with a finger up to his lips...

Michelle said…
Great Not Me's! I haven't done them in a while....I need to start up again. :)

Oh and I did not chase my bean burrito with a krispy kreme donut. Who would do that?

Although I don't participate I am a great fan of "Not me! Monday" Those of you who do this are very creative and fun people. I especially liked that you did not cry in the baby food aisle. Those transitions are hard!

Pam said…

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
